Custom Pool Design

It all starts with the pool design.

After meeting with our client at their home in Walsh Ranch and discussing the pool and exactly what the features and layout they wanted for their pool, we sat down and created a render with our pool design software. This allowed the homeowner to see exactly what the pool would look like when it was finished and how it would fit in their backyard.

The pool rendering also helped the homeowner see how the pool would flow with their porch and outdoor living area.

One of the final pool designs looked like the following:

Pool Excavation

After a few iterations of pool designs, discussion on the materials (tile, coping, plaster), and a written contract, it was time to start the build process!

The first step was to lay out exactly where the pool would be in the backyard and then excavation.

Pool Rebar and Plumbing before Gunite Shell

After excavation, it was time for the rebar and plumbing before our team sprayed the gunite shell for the pool. After the rebar was completed, a city inspector came on site to make sure everything was ready to move forward with the gunite shell.

Gunite Shell for Pool

After the inspectors signed off, it was time to start spraying, applying, and shaping the gunite shell for the pool. The backyard area is completely prepped to make sure the gunite doesn’t get on the house, landscaping, fence, or any other area in the backyard.

Pool Coping, Tile, and Stone Veneer

After the gunite set, the next step was to install the coping, tile, and stone veneer that the homeowner picked for their new pool.

The coping used on this pool is an eased edge Leuders that gives the pool that modern look.

The pool and spa veneer and raised beam with the water feature is a chopped Austin Stone.

The tile used for this pool is a light blue mosaic from NPT called Sydney.

Matching Austin Stone Retaining Wall

You can see in the pictures above that the retaining wall under the fence didn’t match the pool veneer. We decided to use more Austin Stone for the retaining wall to really tie the backyard pool project together.

Wood Textured Pool Deck

Once our team was finished with the stone and tile work, it was time to move to the pool deck.

For this pool deck, we used a wood texture concrete stamp with proline saddle soap hardener/stain.

Pool Plaster & Finishing Touches

One of the final steps in this new pool build was applying the Midnight blue pool plaster, sealing the pool deck, and finishing the landscaping.

Take a look at the finished pool below. This new pool and backyard really turned out great!

Willsha Pools was hired to repair drilled holes, large cracks, resurface a very large deep diving pool, replace equipment, replace tile, apply chemicals for a sound, healthy, functioning pool. I received bids from several companies and chose Willsha because of their professional approach, knowledge and how well and timely they responded to my calls. They were very competitive but not the cheapest. The few extra dollars was well invested! This company is excellent! The work was on schedule. The quality surpassed my expectations and the communication and education was exceptional. I highly recommend this company. Willsha will be my referral choice and my go too company for my personal pool needs..

I had a full pool resurface and remodel done with Willsha Pools, and they did a fantastic job. The crews were in time and very professional. The workmanship was impressive, and I was continually informed of the stages and progress made. From the get go, they were a few steps ahead of the competition. Their design was unique, and they EXCEEDED every promise and every due date. In other words - under promised and over delivered. To me communication is key when dealing with contractors and they absolutely nailed it! I am so pleased with every phone call, repair, and transaction with Willsha Pools. I would highly recommend them if you are considering any phase of pool ownership. It is a huge investment and you want it done right!
